Yes, definitely hide those backgrounds, so you focus only on the cool little cars!

Very nice model.

Did you use environment channel for the reflection map?

The reflection on the window is somewhat weird. :?

You need to work on thickness of the windows and roof.. those are not wafer thin but should have some real thickness, it'll improve the realism a lot (so they don't look instantly recognisable as CG models made of single surfaces).
I haven't seen a real Hotwheel car since I was a small kid, so I don't know how tight they can mold these models nowadays, but some of the edges seem really sharp considering the size of those cars (also paint usually softens those curves as well).
Other than that and the things already mentioned above, they're cool models!
